Chapter 157: The Flower Market
"It's okay to go, otherwise you have to be careful when you speak." Mu Xi stared at the backs of the two and muttered, "I thought that there was no mistress in the Xinwang Mansion, and it was quieter than the Mu family, who ......knows?"
"I came here just to think that it could be quieter here, and I hope these two people will be smart people......" Huaxi remembered Yan Jin's various performances again, and secretly slandered herself, hey, she looks handsome and ingenious, and she thinks she will send me a stepmother if she doesn't know.
In the evening, King Xin returned home. Huaxi went to bed early, and she didn't have time to ask about the maid.
The next day, Yan Jin called Huaxi to get up early, "The ceremony cannot be abolished, the prince will not go to court today, the girl should go to the prince to ask for peace earlier."
Huaxi glanced at Yan Jin, yawned and sat up, and snorted in his nose, "Hmm......" The placket of the Hang silk dress is half open, revealing a small half of the collarbone, and with that lazy and charming face, it is just like a picture of a beauty waking up.
It's just that Yan Jin's demeanor in Huaxi looks a little frivolous, and Yan Jin's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, "Although Xiyue is more civilized than the people of Dahua, the royal family and ministers have to practice palace etiquette. The slave and maid will ask the prince to teach the girl the palace etiquette from tomorrow. ”
"Then there's Aunt Law." Huaxi nodded, glanced at Yan Jin with a smile, and took the cloth towel handed by Yurui and wiped his face.
Mu Xi was robbed of his job by Yurui, so he leaned over to make Huaxi's bed.
After Huaxi finished washing, Cui Ming stepped forward to comb Huaxi's hair, but Aunt Yan changed Xingchun. Huaxi gave Cui Ming a look, and Cui Ming stepped aside.
Xingchun combed Huaxi with a bun, pinned a small hairpin with gold pendant corners inlaid with pearl rice, and matched it with a moon-white placket with a wide-sleeved short skirt and an embroidered pink blue camellia breast-length skirt, which looked elegant and slender.
Xingchun took a white camellia and wanted to put it on Huaxi, Huaxi waved his hand, "No need, it's more refreshing"
Huaxi took two photos in front of the mirror, nodded with satisfaction and praised Xingchun twice, "Well, Xingchun's hands are so skillful"
"Girl, it's not early, the prince has already gotten up."
Huaxi nodded and said, "Well, I'll go now." The study hasn't been set up yet, so Yurui and Xingchun will keep it for me to tidy up. As soon as I moved in, there were a lot of chores in the yard, and Aunt Lao was staring at it. ”
Huaxi found an excuse not to let Yurui and Xingchun follow him, and Yan Jin was irrefutable, so he sent Huaxi out of the hospital before going back.
Huaxi asked the little maid to lead the way, and took Cui Ming and Mu Xi to the Yiyuan where Susukino Shin lived.
Before entering the garden gate, I heard laughter coming from inside, and when Hanaxi entered, he found that Susukino Nobu was sitting and drinking tea with someone in the courtyard.
"Father" Huaxi blessed his body.
Susukino Shin greeted Huaxi with a smile, "Quick, come over and see who's coming?" ”
The man got up, "Farewell to Beijing, I met my sister again." ”
The man was wearing an apricot-colored round-necked narrow-sleeved gown, with a half-turned placket under the neck and chest, and a silver moire embroidered on the black placket, which naturally hung down, like an outward-turned collar, and was free and easy. A pair of peach blossom eyes are shining, and the corners of his lips have a clean and lovely smile like a warm sun, who is not Ji Xie?
Huaxi glanced at Ji Xie with a smile and asked, "Should I call you Brother Ji or Cousin Xie?" The two have not seen each other since they were last rescued. Ben didn't have a bad impression of Ji Xie, but later knew that Ji Xie was his cousin, and he helped him recognize Susukino Shin, Huaxi was still grateful to Ji Xie. I haven't seen each other for a long time, and when I said goodbye, Huaxi became a little closer to Ji Xie in her heart.
"Hehe, my real name is Susukino Kiyuki. The same generation is five, Huaxi can call me the fifth brother. Ji Xie, the current Susukino Jixing raised his eyebrows, "If you enter the sect, in terms of age, you should be thirteen." I'll call you Little Thirteen. ”
The corners of Huaxi's mouth twitched, this row is really ......
"When will you return to Xiyue?"
"After you and my uncle recognized, I left Dahua and returned to Xiyue."
Sukino Shin looked at the two of them with a smile, "I was able to recognize Huaxi this time, and Xiao Wu's credit is not small." ”
"You've lived so many years alone...... Now that I can recognize my daughter, it is God's arrangement, and Xiao Wu doesn't dare to take credit."
Susukino Xin patted Ji Xing's shoulder, "Catch Ming'er to ask Huaxi for the title, I'll put the wine to thank you again"
"Drink, I like this," Kiyuki Susukino laughed loudly, "Don't drink yourself down then."
"Look down on your uncle, isn't it? Who knows? ”
Susukino Shin asked Huaxi again, "Did you sleep well yesterday?" Can you get used to living in the sunset garden? No, my father will change the courtyard for you. ”
"Everything is fine, you don't have to worry about it, father." Huaxi paused, "As soon as I arrived yesterday, Aunt Yan asked the little maids to pack their luggage, and also brought two maids from the palace to serve me closely...... It's called Cui Ming and Mu Xi to save ......"
Susukino Shin smiled, "I won't know until I get home in the evening." The queen made a decree, and I didn't return when I was away, so Manager Hu had to place them in your courtyard. ”
"The queen mother is really sympathetic to her ......subordinates," Ji Xing laughed, but his expression was a little clear.
Huaxi didn't know what the queen was planning, she wouldn't be stupid enough to think that this was caring and compassionate, if it was true, she would have to wait until she entered the palace before giving it down. Besides, looking at the expressions of Susukino Nobu and Kiyuki, he also knew that there must be other reasons for this.
"I calculated, there are more than 20 maids and mothers-in-law inside and outside the courtyard. You know I've always liked to be quiet, but I'm not used to it when there are too many people. But since it was given by the queen's mother, it can't be driven out. It just so happened that Aunt Yan said today that she wanted to teach me palace etiquette, and I wondered if I could send Aunt Yan back to the palace after the teaching? "The maid can be collected, and it is easy to dispose of it, but the housekeeper who was born as a female official still forget it.
"If you want to send it, of course, you have to send all three back." Susukino sneered, "If your hand is stretched too long, don't blame me for being merciless"
Huaxi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Susukino Shin to be so straightforward, ready to send the three of them back directly.
"Won't this offend the queen?"
"It's okay, I'm in my own way." Susukino Shin smiled at Huaxi, "It just so happens that your fifth brother is here, let's have dinner together later, and then ask him to take you around Tiandu City." Tomorrow I will learn the palace rites again. ”
Huaxi's eyes lit up, "Okay, I was in the car yesterday, and I couldn't see it really." I'm just thinking about going out for a walk today."
"Hehe, uncle, just rest assured, I will definitely let Xiao Thirteen have fun today" As he spoke, Susukino Kiyuki secretly squeezed his eyes at Huaxi.
The three of them ate together, and Huaxi followed Susukino Kiyuki out of the house.
Susukino Kiyuki saw Huaxi get into the car, turned over his horse, walked to the window of the car and said, "It's still early, I'll take you to the flower market first." ”
Huaxi nodded, "Hmm"
The two traveled all the way to Tiandu West City. Huaxi got out of the car, and the two strolled into the market.
The fragrance of the flower market can be smelled from a hundred steps away, and from a distance, purple, white, red, pink, gold...... The colors are scorching, like brocade clouds. Looking closer, the roots of those flowers are protected by new mud, and some flower farmers have curtains and fences to shelter those precious varieties.
Xu is purple and red makes people feel comfortable, Huaxi has long forgotten the unhappiness of encountering Yan Jin and others when she entered the mansion, and the corners of her lips have been smiling, looking at the flowers of each family with great interest.
Ji Xing pointed to a "Eighteen Bachelors" and said, "Thirteen, if you like it, buy it back?" ”
Along the way, for the title of "thirteen", he corrected Ji Xing several times, but to no avail. Huaxi didn't bother to argue with him.
Huaxi looked at the eighteenth bachelor and hesitated: "I'm not good at this, it's better to put it here for people to enjoy." Seeing is experience, seeing is enough......"
Ji Xing burst out laughing, "You should be in Dahua, and you have to do everything yourself." This is Xiyue, you are the daughter of King Xin, one of the most noble women in Xiyue, there are gardeners in the house, just leave it to them to serve. ”
Huaxi chuckled, "I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while." ”
Ji Xing shrugged, reached out and took out two silver tickets from the fish bag and threw them to Huahu, "These eighteen bachelors have an elegant temperament, and they are a match for you." Good flowers and beauties, count it as a meeting gift from your fifth brother. ”
Although the eighteen bachelors are worth a lot of money, Ji Xing has been in the Ji family for many years, and this money is nothing in his eyes.
Huaxi didn't refuse, and bent her knees slightly, "Thank you for the kindness of the fifth brother, then I will be disrespectful." ”
"After shopping for a long time, I only saw a pot...... You don't have to be so polite to leave, I'll take you to the Great Charity Temple to see the puppet, and then let's go to Tianfu Pavilion for dinner. ”
Ji Xing beckoned his entourage to pick up the pot of eighteen bachelors, and the two walked out of the flower market with a smile.
Walking to the entrance of Xishi Street, the flower farmer who didn't want to sell flowers just now and another person dressed as a small guy chased him out in a panic, "Guest officer, slow down"
Susukino asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" Why do you want to go to the morning of the puppet show of the Great Charity Temple? ”
The flower farmer smiled and said, "I'm sorry, guest officer, it's this little brother who wants to buy flowers from you." ”
Ji Xing glanced at the two of them, "Ye just bought it for my sister as a gift, and you are looking for trouble?" Not for sale"
Seeing that Susukino Ji was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary bearing, he naturally didn't dare to underestimate it, but he couldn't afford to offend the three kings, so he had to come over and make peace with others.
"It's not a small thing to embarrass you, it's just that my neighbor's little brother is from the Three Kings' Mansion. The three kings wanted to fight with others, so they specially sent people to the city to find a tree of eighteen bachelors. It just happened that you bought it, so the little one brought the little brother to look for you. ”
"Douhua? I don't know which of the top brands in the Peony Pavilion is it? gave it to him, and ruined the elegance of these eighteen bachelors in vain. Susukino raised his hand at the attendant, "Send it to the car, let's go"
The little guy looked at Susukino Kiyuki's familiar face, and couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and he didn't dare to intervene when he heard Hanado negotiate with him, and at this time he heard Susukino Kiyuki say that he was the master, and every sentence was true, and he secretly looked at Susukino Kiyuki carefully, and finally remembered who he was.
The little guy hurriedly saluted and said: "Virtuous prince, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he collided with the prince, and asked the prince to forgive him."
Susukino Kiyuki didn't even look at the little guy, turned to Huaxi and said, "Get in the car"
"Don't hide it from the virtuous prince, my king is in a hurry, I don't know if the prince can cut his love? Another day, the king will thank each other and send two famous flowers to thank the prince. ”
Huaxi turned around and caught a glimpse of the little guy's face not showing anxiety, but a natural posture, secretly wondering if these three kings would have a disagreement with Susukino Kiyuki?
"Fifth brother, or ......"
"You don't have to say it, go back and tell your lord, I bought this flower and he wants to spend it, just look for me" Susukino Kiyuki stopped Huaxi, "Let's go, don't be sad for these senseless people"
Huaxi didn't say anything more, got into the car, and left with Susukino Kiyuki.
Seeing the two of them walking away, Huahu tugged at the sleeve of the little guy and asked, "You can't pay the errand, how can you do it?" ”
The little guy snorted, "Don't worry, this matter will naturally tell the truth, the three kings and the virtuous king are not at the same time, the king won't blame me, didn't the virtuous king accompany that girl to the Great Charity Temple?" I'll hurry back to report the news" After speaking, the little guy quit the flower household and ran away.
